Freedom of Religion, explained.

Today we get the Separation of Church and State and why this legal doctrine, does not mean we should ban God and all forms of religious expression from all forms of public life. Knowing this doctrine is incredibly important, but you shouldn't have to hire a lawyer to understand it. That's why I'm here to help! I'm Jake the Lawyer, your Internet Esquire. On this channel I explain concepts, history, and legal doctrines we've all heard of, but might not totally understand. Thank you for watching! I'll be dropping episodes every Wednesday. Please enjoy and have a wonderful day.
